The Uniball Zento Signature model is a very, very nice pen on initial examination. Its striking minimalist aesthetic is quite nice to look at, and it writes so smoothly and beautifully.

The Husky
A shock of white Across the yard! She howls like A humble bard Her song is like A sirens wail And for a treat, She’ll wag her tail! Under fences Holes she digs, And from her shed One could make wigs! She is a runner Through and through And once she’s loose She’ll run fromContinue reading “The Husky”
Wander
Near and far, I wander there Left and right I go I’ll pass you traveling With a smile, So very far from home I’ll walk until the world ends And wander evermore.

Seeing the two of you broughtContinue reading “To My Dear Friends, on the Advent of Their Wedding”
Fear
I have wandered in the woods Under moon and star I’ve wandered places very near And journeyed places far And underneath the darkest boughs I’ve sat beside the flames And warmed my tired aching bones Driving frost away The warding light is my delight To force the dark to flee A shadow creeps about myContinue reading “Fear”
